After almost a month of investigation, West Kelowna RCMP are now reaching out to the public to locate the person behind the wheel of a pickup truck involved in a collision with a pedestrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paramedics were called to the West Kelowna Women\u2019s Shelter, Jan. 29, after a resident reported she had been hit by pickup earlier that day, according to an RCMP media release issued, Feb. 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told RCMP she was crossing Elliot Road at the Super Save Gas station when she was hit by a white, Duramax-style, lifted pickup truck with a bumper sticker that reads, \u201cI brake for saucy wenches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman driving the truck is approximately 40 years old and was wearing a hat. The driver helped the woman into her truck and dropped her off at the women\u2019s shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCMP said the driver didn\u2019t remain on the scene or exchange information with the pedestrian as required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators are asking anyone who witnessed the collision, has dash camera footage or can identify the driver to call West Kelowna RCMP at 250\u2011768\u20112880.
